Appleworks Bible Scores Home Run,
This review is from: Macworld AppleWorks 6 Bible (Paperback)
In the tradition of all IDG Bible series books, the AppleWorks Bible by Steve Schwartz and Dennis Cohen is a home run! ... Starting out gently, and then progressing to the more difficult concepts of Appleworks 6, this book can benefit just about anyone using the program. For beginners, the quick tour of AppleWorks is clear and concise -- getting new users up to speed quickly. For the veteran user who may have come up through the ranks of ClarisWorks, there's lots of detailed help on new features like clippings, frames, styles and even macros. Reviewers at both Graphic-Design.com and User-Groups.net particularly liked the help on the new presentation tools, function integration, mail merge and the intracies of aWorks' database. If there's an AppleWorks user in your crowd, the AppleWorks Bible will make a superb gift. The AppleWorks Bible from IDG Books has been selected as the Editor's Choice Book for December, 2000 in The User Group Network, and Design-Bookshelf.
